A recording apparatus for recording on a recording material by use of a recording
head comprises a carriage for mounting a recording head, and a pressurized connector
fixed to the carriage for electrically connecting the recording head mounted on
the carriage with a control circuit, which is fixed to the wall face opposite to
the recording head mounted on the carriage, hence making it possible to reliably
fix the recording head to the carriage with a smaller number of parts with a simple
and inexpensive structure, while receiving the contact pressure of the pressurized
connector with the robustness of the carriage entire body, and to provide an ink
jet recording apparatus to be able to attempt making the carriage smaller and lighter.
